In the process, the pure productivity figures were increased by 30% using a spray arc instead of the MIG/MAG welding process. The constricted arc achieves very deep fusion penetration. Scholz was also able to reduce its welding times due to the lower number of welding layers and the reduced amount of materials and time required. Further cost savings were achieved via the changeover from cored to solid wire. ■ Steel: unalloyed and low-alloy ■ forceArc® for closed container and apparatus construction ■ Manual ■ PHOENIX 500 EXPERT forceArc SCHOLZ Maschinenbau, Coesfeld 3 St Steel: unalloyed and low-alloy forceArc® “Total cost savings of up to 50% – that’s what won us over!” One of the leading innovators in crane manufacturing is Voith-Werke based in Traun, Austria. Andreas Lackner, Managing Director, explains: “We deliver quality, something that is clear right from the weld seams. PHOENIX power sources combined with forceArc provide unprecedented levels of efficiency and quality. For example, previously the 12 m metal sheet for a beam had to be prewelded with a butt joint manually, with the final pass being added using an MMA process. We are now using forceArc for all layers.” Andreas Brunmair, welding engineer at Voith, adds: “On our mechanised welding line, we produce seams of up to 60 metres in length. Thanks to EWM, we can now interconnect two PHOENIX 521 power sources and generate welding current of up to 1,000 amperes. We move along extralong seams requiring up to an hour to weld to 450 amperes on a 100% duty cycle.” Andreas Brunmair (left), Welding Engineer Andreas Lackner, Managing Director Voith-Werke, Traun Austria 4 Crane construction ■ Steel: unalloyed and low-alloy ■ forceArc® for crane manufacturing ■ Manual/mechanised ■ PHOENIX 521 PULS forceArc St Steel: unalloyed and low-alloy forceArc® “Hard facts for innovation and efficiency” “After six months of practical experience we are so impressed with the EWM forceArc® process combined with the fully digital inverter power source PHOENIX 500 EXPERT PULS that we are going to convert our entire production process to the new process/machine combination”, summarised Rudy Day, Production Manager at AMADA in Charleville Mezieres, France, who is delighted with his “production accelerator” from Mündersbach, Germany.

Joining technology is the top priority. As owner Gerhard Limberger says: “With forceArc, each weld seam can now be produced faster and with less spatter, as well as with considerably less distortion of the work piece and no undercuts. forceArc’s short spray arc has such high directional stability that it never deviates from the target, even with free wire ends of 40 mm. With forceArc we save a great number of filler layers, which reduces costs when it comes to filler wire, shielding gas, energy and finishing work.” Gerhard Limberger, Owner ISW Steel components, Ennsdorf Austria 6 Mechanical engineering supplier ■ Steel: unalloyed and low-alloy ■ forceArc® for building components ■ Manual ■ PHOENIX 521 PULS forceArc St Steel: unalloyed and low-alloy forceArc® “On the move with ROMVAG on Europe’s railway routes” The Romanian company ROMVAG S.A. in Caracal manufactures superstructures for goods wagons and rail tankers. Both national and private railway and transport companies from virtually all European and Baltic states are now among their customers. There is a total of over 70,000 wagons with ROMVAG superstructures traversing Europe’s railway routes. Barely one year ago, modern pulse welding technology was adopted by ROMVAG in the form of the EWM forceArc® which is unbeatable in terms of efficiency and quality. In addition to consulting, comprehensive welding tests were carried out first, in which the innovative process proved its worth with flying colours. The process had already received the approval of all the certification bodies in Germany as well. For example, it has also already been approved by Deutsche Bahn AG. EWM can refer to ROMVAG as its largest customer worldwide with pride: More than 500 EWM machines are hard at work there.

The subsidiary of the American company JLG Industries, which operates internationally under the umbrella of the Oshkosh Corporation, constructed its modern production plant and began production in just a few short months. In their search for appropriate joining technology for the heavyweight welded constructions, the decision was made in favour of EWM forceArc® combined with the PHOENIX range of power sources. The specialist presentations and the demonstrations were too compelling to resist. What was surprising to everyone was the response of the experts from the “home of shielding gas welding”: Their statements ranged from “I’ve never been able to achieve such great welding results so easily before”, to “This process is an absolute wonder”, through to a simple “It’s great”. Both the Romanians and the Americans were particularly impressed with how securely the root was formed using forceArc® during the welding, as well as the precision of the arc during work and how quick manual work was. The economic potential did not go unnoticed by the course participants either.

INKON is one of the leading providers of “modular noise protection walls”. Alhäuser adds: “Thanks to forceArc, production costs were cut by around 35%. For the full connections we weld with forceArc to produce noise protection walls for Deutsche Bahn, no preliminary work is necessary and we can weld the base plate with steel support as a butt joint. Now we only weld two layers rather than three previously, thereby saving on preliminary work, welding time, energy, filler material, shielding gas and finishing work. Following these results we immediately barred all other welding machines from our production site.” Steel and plant construction ■ Steel: unalloyed and low-alloy ■ forceArc® for constructing noise protection walls ■ Manual ■ PHOENIX 521 PULS forceArc Eckhard Blöcher (left), Dipl.-Ing., SFI Günter Alhäuser, Managing Director INKON GmbH, Höhn 9 St Steel: unalloyed and low-alloy forceArc® “Hendriks Staalbouw is crazy about forceArc®!” Steel and plant construction Involved in a wide range of activities, Hendriks Staalbouw is one of the leading steel and mechanical engineering companies in the Netherlands. The company relies on MIG/MAG welding technologies in a big way and is now convinced that they work about twice as fast with the EWM-forceArc® process. ■ Steel: unalloyed and low-alloy ■ forceArc® for the production of inner and outer rings for steel-core pipes ■ Manual ■ PHOENIX 500 EXPERT PULS forceArc Hendriks Staalbouw, Netherlands 10 St Steel: unalloyed and low-alloy forceArc® “There is no alternative to forceArc®” “Several equipment suppliers called on us during the offer phase. STM offered us the innovative welding solution from EWM and demonstrated it to us. For our welding tasks, which are carried out completely by hand in 2-shift operation, the forceArc® process is a real blessing. With its powerful and directionally stable arc it allows for very deep welding with fusion penetration that we could never achieve with conventional MAG processes. This makes smaller welding joints possible, thereby considerably reducing the amount of welding material required. EWM-forceArc® can work with a free wire end of 35 to 40 millimetres and can therefore ‘dip’ deeply into the narrow joint. In doing so, the arc remains absolutely stable and locked onto the operating point. For the range of goods we manufacture – joining large and thick metal sheets, pipes and profiles – there is no more cost-effective alternative in my opinion.” SIBAU GENTHIN Steel and plant construction ■ Steel: unalloyed and low-alloy ■ forceArc® for the production of canal lock systems ■ Manual ■ PHOENIX 521 PULS forceArc Heinrich Baumgärtel (left), SIBAU Managing Director Olaf Krause, Expert Welding Engineer SIBAU Genthin GmbH & Co. KG, Genthin 11 St Steel: unalloyed and low-alloy forceArc® “Unparalleled power”: a leap forward in efficiency Steel and plant construction 20 Phoenix 521 Puls forceArc power sources – as efficient as it is future-proof: “No other machine on the market produces such a powerful and exceptionally directionally stable arc; the benefits are invaluable, particularly in confined working conditions.” Essentially, forceArc® produces even seams and practically no spatter – reducing “cleaning” time alone by percent. In addition, forceArc® offers a wide range of advantages: for instance, the preparation angle of the welding seam can be significantly smaller or even eliminated completely – even full penetration welds are possible without any preparation angle whatsoever. Furthermore, weld seam backing can often be dispensed with. This saves costs for wages, materials, gas and energy, as well as reducing production times throughout the process chain.

Welding expert Jan Schönweiß, IWS (International welding specialist), describes the improvement in quality and efficiency Meiser has achieved by applying the forceArc® und coldArc® processes: “At our plant in Oelsnitz (Vogtland region) we mainly join structural steel (S235 and S355) using the MIG/MAG process. The quality assurance department repeatedly came across one problem area on spiral staircases: the geometry of the structure previously meant that only one side could be joined; thus there were always cavities that were difficult to galvanise. Thanks to the powerful and precise forceArc® process the spiral staircases are now produced with a full penetration weld. At the same time this allows us to create a seam with a throat thickness of 2 on the reverse side – entirely without welding a backing run. This is tantamount to a quality leap as this new solution guarantees a thoroughly homogeneous zinc layer. Using the forceArc® process for a staircase construction at Frankfurt Airport with several hundred treads we more than halved welding times“. In addition to saving shielding gas, power and welding consumables, the process also reduces welding time and seam preparation time for the company by around 50 percent, i.e. a whole hour in the case of ten treads.

For engineers at Meyer Werft, having access to advanced and efficient production methods is an indispensible part of innovative shipbuilding. Their new laser centre contains an important new development in welding technology: 64 Phoenix-type welding systems with EWM forceArc, likely the most sought-after joining process for these types of welding tasks. Meyer carefully considered the financial and technological benefits like those provided by the complete, customised solution. The advanced machines arranged above the workpieces weld more quickly and with greater precision than conventional systems. This is an important advantage, particularly when welding meter-long seams. ■ Steel: unalloyed and low-alloy ■ forceArc® for shipbuilding ■ Manual ■ PHOENIX 521 PULS Meyer Werft, Papenburg 14 St Steel: galvanised, coldArc® unalloyed and low-alloy The Volkswagen Group relies on coldArc® Car manufacturer Following conclusive tests, the innovative process EWMcoldArc ® was approved for use by the Volkswagen AG. Excerpt from the VW approval documentation: “The welding power source, hose package, wire feed unit and manual torch from the company EWM HIGHTEC WELDING GmbH are herewith approved for use in Volkswagen vehicle body construction”. Description: PHOENIX 303 PROGRESS PULS coldArc - is a welding and brazing system from the company EWM HIGHTEC WELDING GmbH consisting of a power source, a hose package, a wire feed unit and a manual torch for controlling the processes of the low heat arc welding technique. Testprogram: • Continuous welding and continuous ignition as well general tests of the system were successfully completed. • Low-spatter brazing was proven in series production at the Volkswagen commercial vehicles plant in Hanover application: T5 Brazing side panels, and the manual workstation at the Emden plant.

For Berndt Heuter, welding engineer at automotive supplier NEEF, the case is clear: “coldArc works extremely well even with exceptionally long free wire ends. This opens up a host of new options when it comes to design.” The new EWM welding power sources are also proving their abilities in production because they are fully compatible with welding robots made by KUKA, FANUC and Reis, offering optimum quality in the process. “In the past, we had problems with spatter. With coldArc, we are now achieving outstanding seam finish with exceptionally low spatter,” adds Heuter. There is also excellent free wire stickout for tight seam openings.

The process reduces the welding time for the pronounced seam root required, we only need to carry out one final pass and the amount of work we used to have to do in terms of grinding is also reduced considerably”. For a specific welding task and a weld seam opening angle of 30 degrees we have been able to reduce the target time by around 20 percent. This includes a saving of around 75 percent in grinding work, the reduced amount of energy required and lower costs for filler metals. In total the overall savings were over 40 percent! Close contact as well as expert support have ensured rapid success. We have already identified the next application for forceArc and other EWM systems.” Dipl.-Ing.

Each cab has over 300 weld seams, all of which must be perfect. The reliability of the welding power sources is an important productivity factor here: We are able to rely on the PHOENIX from EWM around the clock, and the service provided by our EWM partner is unparalleled. We are completely satisfied on all counts. For two years now we also have been using the process innovation EWM forceArc® at a critical point in the production sequence.

The powerful arc provided by forceArc® helps us here as well. It burns with a concentrated arc and always follows the joint line, even with a very long free wire end (stick-out up to 40 millimetres).” “forceArc® has provided us with the promised process reliability that we had hoped for, making it clearly superior to the conventional MAG process and significantly increasing the quality of the welding seams.” ■ Steel: high-tensile, fine grain From right: Dipl.-Ing.

As everywhere in steel construction, welding technology is the key production factor. After having experienced the innovative forceArc® welding process for one year, the welding engineer and production manager Dipl.-Ing. Michael Hüneke speaks of possibilities that had been considered impossible in welding so far: “We are now able to weld full penetration welds with a defined fillet weld on the seam root – without weld pool backing and chamfering. I am convinced that forceArc® will be our future course for further joining applications”. Dipl.-Ing. Michael Hüneke Production Manager (left).

By using it systematically in the root area and for intermediate layers, we save time, lots of time. In the past, the seam root had to be removed by air arc gouging before the backing run could be welded. Looking at the welding process alone, the procedure reduces nonproductive time considerably – cleaning and gouging work is minimised, the welder keeps in time, the entire production chain keeps flowing.” “Fillet welds classified as group B according to ISO 5817 are now produced with a defined hollow fillet and corresponding overlap – and at 3 millimetres, the throat thickness also complies with the value required by the standard. We are aware of what this means for the future of welding technology.” It is now possible to weld certain seams from one side only; the backing run is created “automatically” – no joining – no welding.

KG in Lehrte, Lower Saxony, is one of the leading global makers of washing machines, tumble dryers and other machines for professional use. The level of vertical integration at this established German company is a high 70%. “Welding technology accounts for around just 15% of our production process but plays a major part. This became even clearer to us when we changed over to EWM-coldArc. The fact that we are now achieving a welding speed twice as fast is obviously the icing on the cake,” says acting Production Manager Volker Bachmann.

In 2007, the one-of-a-kind automated welding and assembly line for diesel soot particle filters made of sintered metal went into operation at the Menden factory of the vehicle parts manufacturer HJS Fahrzeugtechnik GmbH & Co. KG. IBG and HJS worked handinhand in its development and design. An investment of millions of euro brought the 30-meter long production line, in which eight welding robots carry out their duties, into being; each of the robots is equipped with an inverter microplasma system and cold wire feed from EWM. Since then, a filter – „packed“ in its housing – leaves the assembly line every two and a half minutes. With the help of 24/7 operation, this means that more than 200,000 filters can be manufactured every year. This is enough to meet the demands of the rapidly growing world market. ■ Steel: high-alloy ■ microplasma welding for joining filter bags ■ Automated ■ microplasma 50 IBG Automation GmbH, Neuenrade 24 CrNi Steel: high-alloy TIG-DC “A real hit, seam for seam” Pipe manufacturing “For the mechanised joining of our stainless-steel pipes on almost 100 TIG welding stations we make two key demands of our power sources: High availability during every minute of the three production shifts as well as reproducible weld seams of consistently high quality.
